grace petrie - meanwhile in texas lyrics

[verse 1]
hail mary we’ve been here before
shed these tears and fought this war
things my mother struggled for
the same wolf at the door

[verse 2]
high and mighty in the supreme court
known abusers never caught
sn+tched the rights for which we fought
and now their word is law
well did you never think what we might lose
giving free reign to fox news
and letting far right ideologies become normal points of view
we’ve been warning for some time, the canary in the mine
that when they come for some of our rights
all the rest are next in line

[chorus]
meanwhile in texas
all the laws are on the side
of just two s+xes
so one may always be denied
and who will protect us
if we can’t find sp+ce to unite
as we divide and we debate
another rape survivor flees the state
meanwhile in texas, girls are gonna die
[verse 3]
time immortal, things have been the same
those in power, those in pain
those whose constant ceaseless aim is taking back our choice
to rule our bodies and our lives
those who’d sooner see their wives
be k!lled than be autonomized
so rise up and use your voice
and when you fight for roe v. wade, when that frontline stand is made
look around at who stands with you, when you meet that barricade
it won’t be fundamentalists
out protesting the word “cis”
yeah when we tear each other down, the winners are misogynists

[chorus]
meanwhile in texas
all the laws are on the side
of just two s+xes
so one may always be denied
and who will protect us
if we can’t find sp+ce to unite
as we divide and we debate
another rape survivor flees the state
as we divide and we debate
and we give sp+ce to lies and hate
as we divide and we debate
another rape survivor flees the state
meanwhile in texas, girls are gonna die tonight
in texas, girls are gonna die
